Pocket Money for the Summer

As you are looking for things to do over the holidays, perhaps you can suggest to your parents that you will do some extra chores around the house with a little compensation according to the following contract.

I, _________________ (parent's name), agree to pay ________________ (your name) 1p for doing __________________(chore of your choice) the first time, 2p for the second time, 4p for the third time, double that to 8p for the fourth time, and so on for the next 30 times.

After 30 times of doing the chore, how much will you have earned?

Enjoy your summer!
